Swabs:

Left to right: Evening, November Leaves and Winter Pine.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

Dry Time: 20-40 seconds

Water Resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: All three had low shading.

On Walmart Pen + Gear copy paper there was some feathering in every nib size but no bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Evening is similar to Vinta Maskara.

November Leaves is just a little brighter than Wearingeul Potato of Spring.

Winter Pine is close to PenBBS Yangzhou.

Longer Writing:

All had dry flows.

Overall, all three were way too pale and dry for me. In longer writing, even in medium and broad nibs, the writing was hard to read.
